country, except the President. 1t is doubt
full if any other private secretary of
President was ever so closely watched by
the newspapers and the politicians, and yet,
as far as anybody knows, Col. Lamont
is not a more important official than
other secretaries were who filled the
same position in other administrations.

purposes of the President and the leaders of
his party than the newspapers do the fact

appear to have stated why he was in New
